Ceramic panel depicting a female figure on the right, with her head turned to her right. In her hands, she is holding a plate with a decapitated, bare head. She is dressed in a green farbalà and brial between green tones, a white plain shirt rolled up with a white collared hat and a red jacquard. At the waist, he wears a black davantal. He wears cobalt blue leather sabates with a high heel and white wedges. The braided hair is gathered in a monkey and held in place by an agulla. It has long braces. To the right of the figure, on the ground, there is a large greenish-blue sprout. On the wall, hanging from a hooked nail, there is a meat rack and a cord holding a hook that is probably of the antler type (part of the drawing has been lost), from which traces of botifarres are visible. On the left, at the feet of the figure, there is a cat whose head, back legs and tail are preserved. On the wall, an ant-like hook holds an au without feathers and a pork pot. The scene is surrounded by a simple border at the top and on the right-hand side, where the lower half has been carved (about 3.5 cm), as is the case on the left-hand side, where the last row of taullettes has been cut vertically (about 10 cm). The lower part should not have had this border.
This panell is accompanied by another similar one in which a male figure is shown holding a bottle jar containing some liquid such as lemon water or water, on a wooden table for carving meat. On its feet, a cat carries the drops of blood that fall from the cone that has been stuck on a hooked nail. There are also a couple of paella pans and a bunch of long fish. On the left, a bench with a sotacopa containing four drops closes the scene, which is surrounded by a similar border, which is complete here except for the lower side, where it does not exist. Both panels consist of 30 tulellets which are numbered in black on the back. They also have a sign to the left of the name to avoid confusion between them. In the first one, the mark is a kind of "V" at the top edge of the tulellet. In the second, a "3" stuck to the left-hand side. Some names are underlined. The last one, the name 30, is underlined twice, possibly as an indication that it is the last one, which leads us to think that the border on the lower side did not exist. The missing fragments and tulellets have been volumetrically and chromatically restored where possible. The head of the cat that appears with the male personage resembles that of a pig and does not fit well with the rest of the body. The fact that it bears the same mark on the back leads us to think that the piece was broken in the workshop or at the moment of assembling the panel and is referred to immediately but no longer follows the drawing of the scene as a whole. Both panels have a very accurate drawing, outlined in manganese and great quality in the execution of the whole scene.
